What Does Repentance Mean?

As we continue our series entitled “Lost In Translation,” we are going to answer the question, “What is repentance?” It is imperative that we understand this concept because the word is mentioned nine hundred sixty-nine times in the Bible. When God talks about something once it is a big deal, but if He talks about it almost a thousand times it had better get our attention! Sadly, the word “repentance” seems like a forbidden word within the church and outside the church because the word implies that people have something they need to repent of, and of course, that sounds like you are judging others. Regardless, it is a word we cannot forget nor forsake, but rather one we need to zoom in on. That being said, in this message, I am going to share with you three ways to relate to this important principle of repentance.

This message is one of the clearest, most articulate explanations on the topic of repentance ever! While other preachers in our nation & around the world are praying for revival, they forget the major "R" which is repentance; and then revival in the church can happen. Well done, James Merritt, you are a mighty, shameless, un-apologetic expositor of the Truth!

"For godly sorrow produces REPENTANCE leading to salvation, not to be regretted; BUT the sorrow of the world produces death." (Meaning your sorry you got caught & you don't forsake your sin) II Corinthians 7:10 NKJV

Repent is an action word. All throughout the Bible God says to us if you Repent for your sins I will show you mercy and forget your sins.

Why do preachers use the world for examples when the examples they use, Tiger Woods for repentance, a man who refuses to, maybe the hypocrisy of lifting up the ungodly to get us to turn to god?

If he was bearing fruit for the kingdom would you still second guess it? Your words remind me of Peter questioning Jesus about John, at the end of the Gospel according to John

[@stevenhill6428]

@@conviction_mv bearing fruit can only happen from a surrendered spirit, isn't self control one of the fruit of the spirit and don't. We hold people accountable to the word
